Let’s face it; it doesn’t take much effort for our gardening minds to wander down imaginary garden paths. Alfred Austin summed up the enjoyment we receive from gardening -- “The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just the body, but the soul.”

So while you’re kicked back in the warmth of the house, I want to remind you of some gardening sins -- seven to be exact -- to avoid. But don’t panic, as these aren’t real sins and nothing really bad is going to happen if you slip up from time to time.
